E. Discussion: Economic Issues

Economic- making a profit, or likely to make a profit.

ECONOMIC ISSUES are situations that reflect the scarcity of resources which are
deemed insufficient to satisfy human wants and needs.
An issue becomes an economic issue under the following circumstances:
 It involves inflation or the increase of price of basic commodities and
services affecting a large number of people.
 It involves an increase of unemployment or not having a job to earn ones
living.
 It involves poverty caused by underlying factors such as lack of education,
cultural and religious discrimination, overpopulation, unemployment and
corruption.

Examples:

The image reflects an issue on

unemployment. Unemployment
happens when someone who
has the ability to work cannot
find a suitable job.
Unemployment becomes an
economic issue when a large
number of populations lacks the
opportunity to find a job and
could therefore not support
basic needs.

The image reflects an issue on

inflation. Inflation rate refers to rise
and fall of prices of commodities at a
specific time or period. Inflation
becomes an issue when there is an
abrupt increase of price of basic
 commodities and services making people unable to have the capacity to
provide for their needs and wants.

The image reflects an issue on

poverty. Aside from being a social
issue, poverty is also an economic
issue making it a socio-economic
issue. Poverty becomes an
economic issue when it affects the
people’s economic activities. It
means people can hardly provide
for their food, shelter, education,
and health.
